Nonviolence and Peace Building in Islam

Written by a Muslim scholar, lecturer, and trainer in conflict resolution, this book examines the largely unexplored theme of nonviolence and peace building in Islamic religion, tradition, and culture. After comprehensively reviewing the existing studies on this topic, Abu-Nimer presents solid evidence for the existence of principles and values in the Qur´an, Hadith, and Islamic tradition that support the application of nonviolence and peace building strategies in resolving disputes.
